بخش ۱۴۲ - حکایت بر سبیل تمثیل / Section 142 - A Tale by Way of Allegory

Original content

با پسر گفت لولیی در ده
نیست چیزی ز نان گندم به

گفت هرگز تو خورده ای بابا
گفت من خود نخورده ام اما

بود جدی مرا کهنسالی
یافته از زمانه اقبالی

دیده بود او کسی حوالی شهر
که گرفتی ز نان گندم بهر

English translation

A gypsy in a village said to his son: 'There is nothing better than wheat bread.' The son said: 'Have you ever eaten it, father?' He replied: 'I myself have not eaten it, but I had an elderly grandfather Who had found good fortune in his time; He had seen someone in the vicinity of the city Who was partaking of wheat bread.'
